Paradiso 37 at Downtown Disney Expanding

One of my favorite spots at Downtown Disney is Paradiso 37. It’s always a fun spot to meet up with friends, enjoy a few cocktails and some appetizers in a really lively, relaxed setting. Paradiso 37 will be expanding with the expansion due to be complete this summer. Paradiso 37 will remain open while undergoing renovations.

Paradiso 37’s expansion capitalizes on its beautiful waterfront setting. “We’re nearly doubling the seating, adding more terrace dining, a new outdoor performance stage and expanding to add a greater presence on the new Disney Springs promenade,” said Rashid Choufani, chief executive officer of Paradiso 37.

The menu, a “Taste of the Americas,” will continue to offer a culinary tour of North, Central and South America, with popular dishes including ceviche, jalapeño burgers, Argentinian skirt steak, whole crispy chicken and Chilean-style salmon. Beverages include wine, beer, and specialty rum and tequila cocktails inspired by the cuisine. (The restaurant takes its name from the 37 countries in the Americas.)

As you know, Planet Hollywood will also be getting a complete makeover – you may not recognize the place as it’s transformed into a four-story stargazing observatory to match the design aesthetic of Disney Springs.
